Game Thread: Illinois vs UT Rio Grande Valley

[kyillinifan]

Good drive by Petrovic

 

[aveseaboy]

If you think Petro should be 6th man I’m going to have to strongly disagree

 

[CleverHandle1]

Petrovic is doing what KB should be doing, instead of chucking three's all the time.

 

[zentrails]

everyone has to be stronger with the balls, very handsy group from UTRGV, gonna get raked, slapped and grabbed for 20 more minutes

funny wording LOL

 

[UCantHideYer]

Ben has to fall over on one of those drives.

My wish list for Santa:

1. Jake hair down game
2. Petro smile

 

[kyillinifan]

I wonder why Boswell seems shy about shooting tonight.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Our lack of defense, like last year, is a huge concern. Not good.

Our bigs are too slow and (Z) undisciplined on pump fakes. It's a huge concern for him.

 

[CDRUSN]

Mirk and Big Z doing the Curly Shuffle on defense while their man blows by them. Both could benefit from better positioning, footwork, speed, and tenacity on defense.

 

[azillini1]

Z out-playing his brother. Tomi still doesn’t look right

 

[OB positive]

He has to be 6th man. Ben 7th. It will just depend on matchups and fouls.

Petro needs to start along side Boswell for us to have our best results.

Attacking the basket >>>> jacking up 3s

It’s like after a few times of successfully attacking the basket, our perspective is “Okay, now we can finally open up the three!” This isn’t a perfect comparison to a good run game allowing your passing game to open up in football, and we shouldn’t treat it that way. If going to the basket is working, keep doing it!!

 

[skyIdub]

Petro looks like he's been up all night with 3 babies.

 

[jamie13197]

Only 2 positives of tonight Mihialo getting legs under him. And Ben BrickaHouse has Not taken 1 shot. Thank you basketball gods.

 

[azillini1]

Man someone tell Z to stop falling for those pump fakes

Wish we had an agile big who could jump

 

[FloridaMan]

Get it Andrej!!!!!

 

[jamie13197]

Petro looks like he's been up all night with 3 babies.

He's 30 and hanging at Kams with 18 year olds. Gonna kill the grandpa.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Petro looks like he's been up all night with 3 babies.

Needs to grab a smoke break at the under 8 tv timeout lol.

 

[CleverHandle1]

Sit down, Ben.

 

[skyIdub]

Gee, I wonder why they aren't even guarding Ben....

 

[PNWIllini]

These guys are better than the cupcakes we’ve faced so far. Not a bad thing they’re pushing us a bit

I told you.

Don’t sleep on those Vaqueros, Brent.

 

[BlabDunkAnd1]

Good lord Ben

 

[jamie13197]

Ah. BEN. 28FT. Brick. Every shot he takes is a freaking Turnover.
